HSI Funding at Risk: Lawsuit Threatens Latino College Programs

San Diego and Imperial County community colleges are fighting a federal lawsuit that threatens over $15 million in annual funding for Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs). The lawsuit, filed by Students for Fair Admissions, challenges the constitutionality of the HSI program, which supports colleges with large Latino student populations. College leaders warn that losing this funding would devastate vital programs and disproportionately impact Latino and immigrant students, limiting their access to education and essential resources. With the Department of Justice declining to defend the program, the outcome of this case could set a national precedent for minority-serving institutions.
